Company History
We have an amazing history!
Santa’s Village opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1955, just six weeks before Disneyland.
The original idea came from a Saturday Evening Post article that was written about a project called “North Pole” in New York. Crestline resident Glenn Holland proposed the idea to investors and broke ground, with Putnam Henck as the general contractor, in 1954. They worked closely with local artisans and craftsman to create the whimsical Village.
The park was built on 15 of the total 230 acres, which were leased to Santa’s Village by the Henck family. The park operated for approximately 23 years in this capacity, but eventually had to close in 1998.
In 2014, Santa’s Village was acquired by new owners who renamed it “SkyPark at Santa’s Village”, and began the daunting task of restoring the property to its former glory. In 2016, the park was re-opened as an outdoor adventure park, complete with mountain biking and enough attractions to encourage guests to visit year-round.
Today, we are proud to continue the legacy of Santa’s Village, and we hope you will join us in making sure that the property and the magic will be preserved for generations to come.
