Additional information:
The original submitter of this wayspot lied on its title and description.
This is not a community playground but a gated, private driveway in the back of private, single family residential house. Attached is a screenshot of satellite imagery showing there's no playground. Additionally, there's a streetview imagery showing this is a private residence and not a community playground. And finally there's in-game photo showing that this private driveway often has closed gates, further supporting the fact that it's not a community playground.

Hey there, @Mxx-ING! We took another look at the Wayspot in question and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time.
Could you please elaborate on this decision?
This wayspot is on a private residential property, which is one of the explicitly listed criteria for ineligible locations. Is this no longer a factor?

A basketball hoop in a fenced-in backyard is not a playground. It looks like an abusive wayspot to me, and Niantic dropped the ball on this one.
