Hood River, Oregon
Overlook Memorial Park
 

      
Located at the
      top of Second Street where it meets State Street, the Overlook
      Memorial Park is an award-winning public plaza that is a fine
      example of public-private design. The plaza features a fountain
      that mimics the many natural waterfalls that exist in the surrounding
      Columbia Gorge, and paving details of spawning salmon to complete
      the homage to Hood River's natural surroundings. The basalt column
      at the base of the fountain lists local veterans who died in
      World War II, the Korean Conflict and Vietnam. The stairway climbs
      to the Horsefeathers Brewpub, a major tourist draw in Hood River.
