The 2008 Sunday Parkways was a great walk.  I attended with my walking friends and we had a wonderful time exploring North Portland neighborhoods.  The activities at the parks makes this an ideal family event for Father's Day.  Families of all ages can walk, bike or skate the route away from any traffic danger.  Keep pets on leash and mind your leash safety around many other walkers and bikers.  Porta-johns are available at the parks along the route.
