The northern boundary of the park is the Winchuck River. The southern border is indeterminate, varying by source. However it clearly ends a few hundred feet into California, north of Pelican Beach State Park.
The park is named after the abandoned airfield contained within it, Crissey Airport. The runway is now a beach access footpath.
