Magical Park smartphone application launch at Port MacDonnell

HUNDREDS of Port MacDonnell and surrounding community members were roaming the Port MacDonnell foreshore recently with life-size robots while training dragons and collecting kittens.

Grant District Council and Port MacDonnell Tourism Association celebrated the launch of the Magical Park app this month.

The app is one of the world’s first digital playgrounds that uses augmented reality to get kids off the couch and active outside in a safe park space.

Available for 12 months for those that visit the foreshore next to the newly establish waterfront project, every six weeks the app will be updated with a fresh round of games to encourage visitors to return to the area.

The app is available for download online via the Apple App store or the Google Play store.
