Drinking fountain was declined by Niantic's automated process

Welcome to the forum!

Drinking fountains are normally considered just infrastructure, not something that meets any of the core criteria of a great place to exercise, explore, or be social.

A memorial to a significant member of the community could be eligible, but you would really have to convince of the importance of the person. This clarification about memorial benches would apply to all memorials:

@NianticTintino

Memorial benches can only be eligible under the criteria for exploration if they are dedicated to a notable figure and that notability is described in the nomination. Mass produced memorial benches dedicated to friends and family are not eligible unless the nominator provides evidence of the individual’s importance to the community. Just stating that someone was important to the community is inadequate.

Here is a great place to read up on criteria:
