The east half of the triangle includes a grassy area that is considered a non-contributing resource because it was constructed after the period of significance for the Memorial.

The triangular space in which the David Campbell Memorial and the park are situated is city right-of-way to the surrounding streets, so it was never platted or assigned a block number.

On either side of the convex staircase is a limestone pedestal with dadoes featuring carved, grotesque, humanoid faces with rams horns growing from their heads.

On top of each pedestal are bronze lanterns with stylized classical ornamentation including bay-leaf garlands and pendant strings of bellflowers.

The plaque is embossed with the words, "Chief of the Portland Fire Department 1893-1911 who lost his life in the performance of his duty June 26, 1911.
