Hi all,
I nominated this POI and earned enough for an upgrade last week but it was rejected within 4 hours of the upgrade being applied. I know that running trails and markers are accepted as they promote exercise/physical activity and in certain cases can be a good place to be social with others.
What can I add to this submission upon resubmitting it to ensure that it gets accepted? The Google Maps view of the park clearly shows the trail which encompasses the two baseball fields and the soccer field (the large square and the rectangle respectively). I tried to take a supporting photo of the trail marker (primary photo is back to back on the same post as secondary photo). There are 4 other instances of the same sign at various locations in the park around the same running trail. It may be a little difficult to see but the small circle in the top left of each sign is actually the insignia of the town.
Google Street View of the trail marker in question can be found on the lampost under the "Hampstead Harvest Day" sign https://www.google.com/maps/@45.4808152,-73.6457018,3a,54.2y,247.2h,81.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVuke4SDgQ8W3tMBIXlvnMA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

What's the rejection reasons you got?
If it's a running loop of 400m, why would you try to make it pass as a trail marker?
Just nominate it as a running loop
The rejection just states “Nomination does not meet acceptance criteria”
I wasn’t sure if it would have a better chance as a trail marker since there are multiple around the loop unofficially denoting various starting points or better as a running loop which I have seen fewer nominations of overall. When I resubmit it I will call it a running loop and omit the words trail marker.
Your title says "Running Loop", but the sign in the picture says "Sentiers Baseball & Soccer Paths". Then it's confused further in Supporting Info, saying it's a skating rink. Just submit what the sign says (maybe adding the name of the park, if "Sentiers" isn't unique enough). Later you can edit it with details.
Also, remove "Trail Marker in a public park" from the description. If you're standing there, you know where you are. That's good for Supporting Information, for reviewers who aren't standing there.
