Over the past two months, I have made two nominations for public swing sets (playground set rather than playground area). The first one was accepted, but the second one was not, and I do not understand why. Essentially, they are exactly the same thing in principle, both publicly accessible, however, one accepted and the other not (I attached a photo of both). Would you suggest appealing the second one? Or is the first, that got accepted, an error, and such should not be accepted? What do you think?
Are these in the same area, or are they in different areas? Are there other playground equipment in the area? The clarification on playgrounds say to treat playgrounds as 1 area, not individual equipment as separate POIs.
If you are comfortable sharing the location of these, we can certainly take a look at them.
They are about 500 meters apart from each other, and they both are separetely. No other playground stuff in the near proximity. I added photo of locations.
do you have the coordinates from the submission email for the rejected one? that information will be located below the second photo if you still have it. when i pulled up the address on google maps and tried to match it to your pin screenshot, it appears to be single family private residential property.
Both of these appear to be on single family private residential property, or SFPRP for short, so neither should have been accepted. SFPRP are ineligible locations, so while the 2nd was rejected for the wrong reason, it most likely wouldn’t be approved on appeal.
1st is 58.796529359566335, 26.958602593093662, 2nd is 58.79199499334072, 26.96291525778353
how did you obtain these pins?
I did a Google Lens search on the location image, and copied the location text and put it into Google Maps. Then, at the pins, I right-clicked to get the lat/long.
That’s not true, they are on land belonging to my local municipality (Mustvee vald). The first (which was accepted) is next to a local singing grounds strcture (Kasepää laululava) and the second is next to the Kasepää community center, which is a village house/information center, which is public. Anyway, I’m a local and I know both are on a public area. The one that was accepted didn’t appear as a Pokestop anyway, I was just curious as to why one was accepted and the other wasn’t.
okay so we did the same process, but i did not call those the pins for the nomination
I can’t tell you why the locals accepted one and rejected one. Your other question was should you appeal the rejection, and I don’t think you should unless you can prove that this pin is not on SFPRP
Does your supporting photo help prove the location?
The 1st didn’t appear as a stop as there’s already a Wayspots in the L17 S2 cells here, and only 1 Wayspot is allowed per L17 S2 cell in PoGo.
More info on S2 cells can be found here: Why an accepted Wayspot may not be used in Pokemon Go (S2 cells and Pokemon Go)

The first one should have been rejected as part of the playground here, which i can see as a portal, as far as I can tell.
Ty for linking the location @DTrain2002 . Agree with you that the pin seems to be misplaced onto SFPRP as well.

I think I won’t appeal this then, because there are already two pokestops near there and it likely would not appear as a pokestop, but I was hoping for an additional Dynamax powerspot. I made a more or less red square on which is public area here (or at least what I know is used as public area, because people use it). But if the game has info that is still falls to be private property, there is no point, as I understand.
There’s no guarantee that a Wayspot will become a Power Spot. The community has observed that Power Spots must been at least 22m from any active stop/gym in PoGo, and this info is listed in the link I provided about S2 cells.
Oh, then this makes sense. But I have never interpreted the swingset as part of a playground here, for me the wooden ones in the background there are rather benches to accompany the fireplace. And they are like 15-20 meters apart.
I said appears to be SFPRP based on this view
There appears to be a mailbox at this address which looks separate from the community center.
Then it might be I have misplaced the location tag myself by accident while making nomination, the swingset should be more like behind the community center. I would say like 15 meters from there, behind the community center house. You actually cannot see it from street view. But it does not matter anymore anyway. Like the light-blue roof house you can see, behind it
Neither of us are staff, just regulars giving you our opinions on how this looks to us, fwiw.
Yes, thank you both, you have clarified a lot for me. And, I myself need to be more exact when marking a location,when nominatinf
