Thank you for the nomination.
Benches are the type of feature that can be difficult to make a case for, and rejections by the auto process are common. This applies to new and experienced wayfinders.
If you have not already done so It is worth reading the clarification around them
A bench on a trail is often a place to stop and look at the view. What is the view like from this bench?
Edited to add
Have I got the correct trail?
There are places along this trail with lots of wayspots / pokestops and others have less.
