SkyPark at Santa's Village is a large amusement park complex which has incorporated attractions from the site's past Santa's Village Theme Park with a large mountain biking and hiking terrain park that includes miles of groomed trails.
The two components of SkyPark at Santa's Village are the family friendly attractions and the trail network. One admission price grants visitors access to the park's variety of attractions, which include a bouldering room, roller skating or ice skating rink (depending on the season), archery range, axe throwing, playgrounds, children's bicycling pump track, short train rides, pedal cart track, mountain and Christmas themed shops, restaurants and scheduled entertainment. SkyPark has updated the Santa's Village Christmas-themed grounds, and is a hub of entertainment and recreation in the San Bernardino Mountains.
The second component is the trail system. SkyPark has several dedicated hiking trails ranging in length. The Northwoods Trail passes through the forest amidst the cycling trails while remaining on a separate single track course. The Bike Park area has a variety of trails which are professionaly constructed and groomed daily. The numerous trails offer something for all riders, from easier Skills Courses and cross country single track to intermediate fast flow routes containing berms and smaller jumps, to advanced trails with obstacles and impressive wooden features and larger jumps.
The Bike Park sits on a hillside with a 400'+ difference in elevation between the lower points and the upper point. It doesn't have a lift, instead riders take an easy path to the top and have their choice of several downhill trails. Trails also meet and intersect at several points, allowing riders to mix and match their routes down, or cut back and ride to the top without riding all the way to the bottom first.
Several trails and combinations of note include:
In addition to the Bike Park, SkyPark also has a full service bike shop for repairs and retail, and offers a variety of mountain bikes and E bikes for rent and for sale.
In all, SkyPark at Santa's Village is a family friendly park that has all the restaurants, recreation and amenities for spending a day with the family, and also has one of the largest groomed mountain bike trail systems in the region. Those visiting strictly to ride the trails are able to do so, with the benefit of having a selection of restaurants, a pub and coffee shop available to relax at upon hitting the bottom of the trail.
While SkyPark is open year round, weather conditions will affect when the hiking and cycling trails are open.
