Bike and Walking Track: If you go in a circle around the walking track, you will have gone 1.15 miles. Here is how to do this: Enter the park on America's Way. Park your car in the first parking lot. Head north on the walking track (parallel to Portland Blvd.). At the north end of the park, the path splits. Turn right and head east (parallel to Jim Courtney Road). Continue following the loop until you come back to where your car is. That's 1.15 miles. There are restrooms in the back of the concession building on the east side of the track. The restrooms are open during normal park hours, but they are sometimes locked on holidays.
