Crest Canyon is smack in the middle of Del Mar, far enough from the coast you can't really see the ocean, there are a couple places to park on Durango Drive or right on Del Mar Heights is the very start. It is all street parking with no lot, but it doesn't seem like it would ever get crowded enough to be an issue. Try 2250 Del Mar Heights Rd, San Diego, CA 92130 for directions.
It is mostly desert scrub with a good view of the surrounding neighborhoods at times. It is a good place to bring kids as the hike is short and just adventurous enough to keep them interested.
It was a struggle, but I managed to get to 2.5 miles round trip, the north end of the hike was fenced off with temporary fencing, so I assume it will open up in the next few months. But you could not link up with the river park. Hiking San Diego County has a write up.
