Playground is temporarily closed off for whatever maintenance is going on.

  • A screenshot of your nomination, including rejection reasons if it has already been rejected
  • Include the title, description, both photos, and supplemental information
  • Copy and paste the title, description and supplemental so others can translate them
  • If you feel comfortable please share the location, as it is helpful (i.e. hidden duplicates), but you can mask it if you wish.

I think you may need a different supporting photo, as it still looks to be under construction, which may be why it was rejected for unsafe access.

It won’t be a while before I go back there… I’m not going to make a special visit just for this nomination to be honest.

But I can see the appeals team agreeing with the community and saying it’s unsafe because of the bariers, even if you explain that it’ll be opened up soon and the barriers will eventually be removed.

I agree that I would not appeal with this supporting photo.

I remember either rejecting this or skipping it. My two issues are that the playground is still a building site and streetview has the pin in a car park. My advice is to wait until it’s not a building site and to link to a news article about the playground opening in the supporting info because that streetview will still be showing the location as a car park.

None of the playgrounds within a 5 mile radius from where I live that are in the game have any news articles (accept for the ones in the parks). I can’t help that Google Streetview doesn’t show the newly built playgound, which should not disqualify it from being accepted. A lot of nominations that have been accepted are not on Google Satellite or Streetview… and I am pretty sure they don’t have a requirement of being listed on a website / news article as being an acceptance requirement.

Even though the playground is obviously /going/ to be publicly accessible, it currently isn’t and that’s enough to put reviewers off. I accept playgrounds that aren’t visible on streetview because too new, as long as the satellite images clearly assist (new housing with an area clearly separated for greenspace, even if currently all brown), but don’t know if these get accepted more widely.

I did get a trail marker accepted where that section of the trail itself had high barriers blocking it off (temporarily of course, but they were in the photos), but that’s a different situation. Here, the only option is to wait for the barriers to come down :confused:

Appealed it in the end and Niantic agreed with my request and overturned the rejection.
