Sparked by the creativity and success of Disneyland and the 1950 opening of Fairyland in Oakland, storybook parks began to blossom across the country in the 1950s and 60s. All unique, only a few are still open to the public today. Fairytale Towns first brochure explained that Sacramento's park would depict classics in children's literature and [be] among the child's first contacts with life and human relations Fairytale Town opened to the public on August 29, 1959. Located in William Land Park in Sacramento, California, Fairytale Town was dedicated as a gift to the children of the Central Valley by the City of Sacramento, the Junior League of Sacramento and other community and business leaders. Fairytale Town serves a wide audience from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and geographic areas. Fairytale Town also serves low-income school children and children with special needs by providing free admission. Now supported primarily by the public, this children's park reinvests its revenues in park maintenance, programs and operations. As the 1956 brochure predicted, Fairytale Towns nominal admission charged for each guest, partnered with the continuing support of the community, has helped Fairytale Town remain self-sustaining. Fairytale Town remains a vibrant and meaningful destination for families from all over the Sacramento region and all over the world. A child's imagination is in a state of timeless wonder, so Fairytale Towns goal today is to preserve the colorful sets its founders designed, and maintain their vision of an inspiring place for young children to explore and grow. Fairytale Town is still the only literacy-based park that serves children in the region. Year-round special events and educational programming introduce multicultural themes, literacy and creative experiences to their visitors. Most recently, Fairytale Town completed the Yellow Brick Road in the summer of 2012. This new landmark has been a delight to those visiting Land Park, as well as Fairytale Town guests that pass through Humpty Dumpty's gate. Please be sure to thank them for the generous support & donation when you see them!
