Title of the Wayspot: Haile Good Mine Playground
(The title is misspelled in the game. That is what it says.)
Location: 34.55553938409786, -80.57994663385477
City: Kershaw, SC
Country: United States
Screenshot of the Rejection Email:
Photos to support your claim:
This is the photo taken the other day featuring the playground's new name to replace the waystop's photo.
Note the date on the following image from Google Maps (2013) as well as the size of the playground in the background. This is the old one.
Additional information:
This wayspot was changed to Welsh's Station Playground in 2019 per the town's park website: https://www.kershawpark.com/. The photo I submitted reflects the change and gives an accurate representation of the playground for visitors. Many play Niantic games, including out-of-towners, so it just looks nice to be up-to-date.
Side note, I have an edit to the name of the playground out there in the ether for people to vote on, but since the old name is misspelled and the photo of the new one was rejected, it's probably difficult for voters to see. It doesn't help that the Google Maps street view is from 2013.
Here is a snippet from Kershaw's park site if you don't want to click the link:
The photo of the Haile Gold Mine sign in PGO and Ingress does not reflect what the playground is now since the name has changed since 2019, and the playground is massive compared to what it was.
It would be nice if the title I submitted could change with this, too, but I could put in a separate appeal for that if it comes back rejected. No biggie.
