Default Willamette Meteor Location?

The meteor is in Washington D.C., but where was the fall site. I recall
it was near a river in perhaps downtown Portland. They had a nice walk
way with the planet mareters along the path. The distances were to scale.

Yes, I know that. Where is the park I'm looking for. I believe there's a
boulder with an inscription on it about the meteorite.

Very likely in Fields Bridge Park. In fact, I found a reference to it.
