How on earth would I review this?

Rossi Park? Ross Playground? Rossi Playground?
When I look at the map I can eliminate Ross Playground because it's clearly Rossi, but now what? The pin is not on a playground nor on something that represents the park as a whole. The following wayspots already exist in the park:
- Rossi Pool & Playground
- Rossi Park Tennis & Pickleball Courts
- Rossi Park Basketball Court
- Rossi Park Athletic Field 2
- Rossi Playground
- Mosaic Butterfly
So, if it's supposed to represent the park it's a duplicate. If it's supposed to represent the basketball court it's a duplicate. If it's supposed to represent the playground it's a duplicate. As far as I can tell there is no legitimate way to improve this wayspot with the edits that I have available to me. (I actually did the obvious thing-- None of the above and Unable to find an appropriate location.)
Dear Niantic: please do better.

As it’s got no image, and is a basketball court this is one of their “Courts of the World” imports - https://community.wayfarer.nianticlabs.com/discussion/35832/uk-us-foursquare-import#latest
The users of that site don’t know they need to add “basketball court” to a court as that’s obviously what it’s there for - https://www.courtsoftheworld.com/united-states/san-francisco-ca/rossi-park/
It’s called Rossi Park there so when it got added the name would have ported over as that. As the basketball court is already on (and in the right place), the correct Wayfarer thing to do would be to remove this one as a dupe.
However it seems like whoever has edited it, is trying to convince reviewers it’s a different Wayspot to the court. @NianticOtoStar or someone, can you please remove the dupe with no photo.
@PkmnTrainerJ-ING Ah, thanks, I hadn't paid attention to the details of what the most recent import was... just that there was another one. I suspect the name changes are people trying to improve the import, but facing the same predicament that I was which is that it's a dupe no matter what the rebranding is.
My meta point remains: Niantic needs to do a better job of these.
Yeah, they certainly need to do a better job at awareness and checking these imports.
