The winning designs would be used to help guide $10 million worth of upgrades to these national parks.
The competition is open to students in years four, five, six and seven in Adelaide and the Adelaide Hills.
“The parks they design as part of this competition might include trails for bushwalking, mountain biking or horse riding, barbecue and picnic areas, public toilets, wheelchair accessible areas, campgrounds, scenic lookouts, adventure playgrounds, interpretive trails, places to launch canoes – or something completely different,” said Sustainability, Environment and Conservation Minister Ian Hunter.
“Whatever they create on the screen needs to be able to be translated into the real world.
“We’d like to see trails and other built features that are creative, practical, usable and sustainable, that complement the natural environment and the plants and animals living in it.”
The winning class will win a government-funded excursion to the Belair National Park.

Winners will get to spend a day with a ranger as they walk, cycle, play tennis, and learn about nature at the Belair National Park. This is certainly a great way to have games be used for educational purposes!
