i nominated the dog park in my apartment complex and it was denied for these reasons:
Here is my submission photo. What should I do differently? I’m so frustrated. We have no pokestops within a mile of the complex and I have waited a month and a half and it got denied :(
for reference there’s no signs for the dog park. Otherwise I would have taken a photo of the sign.

I agree that the image does not clearly depict a dog park. It appears to be a picture of a chain link fence with benches on the other side. I don’t know what the area around it looks like, but, lacking a sign, maybe showing the entrance would work better?
Rejection reasons also include your text, which is partially shown here. It looks like maybe you put too much in the description, which would fit better in the supporting info? That one looks a little marginal to me though.
As X0bai-PGO wrote, could you show us your full nomination? It's hard to help when we don't see your full nomination.
But I agree with X0bai-PGO, if this is the main photo, it might not look as a dog park for reviewers. Is there any sign for this dog park?
I’m struggling to post additional photos in this thread. Is anyone seeing my additional photos?
They must be approved by a moderator, it shouldn't take too long, but this has been an ongoing issue. You can post them in other public websites and provide link if you don't want to wait.

Here are a couple additional photos. The sign faces the other direction
and this is the entrance
would either of these be better photos?
That second pic is decent, makes it clear it's a dog park.
Ditch your current supporting information(it's just stop begging and pointless), replace it with your current description (which is decent supporting info but doesn't describe the dog park itself)and write a simple description of the dog park I.e. "This community dog park has play equipment for four legged friends" or something like it.
Thank you!
Anybody familiar with dog parks will look for the double-gate and the clean-up station as proof that they’re looking at a dog park. The sign for the pet exercise area would be good to include as well, if you can get it well lit, centered, etc.
The description definitely needs to be reduced to a brief description of the dog park and not point after point of why it should be approved. I suggest removing everything about it being a social area; a dog park is eligible by itself, let it be what it is.
100% use that sign for your main photo. Get rid of the part about apartments and renters as they have no reason to be part of description. The easily access portion by sidewalks should be in supporting info but if you take a good enough picture it will show the sidewalk anyways
Do not reference Pokemon Go in your supporting information. Several games use these Wayspots, and it makes some reviewers look for any excuse to reject if you can only think of being able to play Pokemon Go as why this is an important POI. Supporting information should just be why you think this meets criteria, and how reviewers can confirm the dog park exists. If you have a link showing the dog park as an amenity for the neighborhood, you can put it in this section.
I am confused by the folks saying use that sign when there are two photos with a sign. Do not use the one attached to poop collecting supplies. Use the one on the gate that shows dog park items behind it.
I found your location on Google Maps (i think) and do not see a dog park there. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Flint+Rd+%26+Spring+Mountain+Dr,+Brighton,+MI+48116/@42.5411039,-83.7766473,187m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x88234ff7d899a4ed:0xe8c60a44f1112a95!8m2!3d42.5386775!4d-83.7747582
You could help your nomination by using the Street View app to place a photosphere there to help reviewers understand there is something there.
Or when taking the main photo crop out the doggy bag dispenser 😅. Since the sign clearly indicates its a dog exercise area where as the other sign simply states to close the gate. Knowing how reviewers are the dog toys in background would not be enough lol
I clicked on the link for my area and am including a photo where the dog park is highlighted. It’s just a small apartment complex dog park next to a wooded area so it may be hard to see from the aerial view. It does exist.
I had no idea other games used wayspots! Thanks for the information!
