I’ve read that too, so I asked my husband if he’d be willing to build one of those. I’m not sure the county would let us place one in the park though, but might be worth a shot if we have time during the snowless time this year. Im an artist so I’ve been pondering places I could place a donated artwork as well, but I am yet to figure that one out. The largest silver treasure from the viking age that was ever found in the northern half of the country was actually dug up on the field I nominated, maybe the nice lady who owns the field will let me put up a sign or something 
Creating wayspots by adding something can be hard, but your examples sound legitimate. What people often try is putting something outside their house, which normally fails to be eligible. Making a positive difference to the world by adding something, and then submitting it as a wayspot is a good approach.
But I just found an overgrown one with a table in the forest park, might try to to clean that one up first! Do you think this could work?
That looks like it is a picnic bench, which are much easier to legitimately describe as Social then a generic bench. You need to make sure that reviewers think “Picnic Bench” when they see the photo.
Again, great advice! You’ve been super helpful, thank you!
Another piece of advice - the snow could be a problem, solely because of reviewers. I have had trail markers in the snow rejected, but accepted when I went back later and kept everything the same except the photo.
You shouldn’t need to do a full restoration, sand down, repaint and re-varnish (saw the locals will be happy if you did 
) At least if not Accepted you have a lovely bench
Just trying to make it look like it has been used in the last 5 years.
Benches are never 100% easy accepts. You have to push the “Social” aspect. Is there another bench on the other side of the table? Are there others to make it a “Picnic Area”.
Good luck.
It looks like there was another bench on the other side once but its just the concrete foundation left. I honestly doubt I will be able to save it, it looks pretty much rotten. I’ll try though!
That can still be used to show this is a picnic bench, as long as the picnic table looks used not abandoned
Is it not possible that the local authorities could be nudged in to doing something.
Can you state that this place used to be active until the condition deteriorated and you would love this place to be somewhere that the neighbours can get together and socialise again.
State how it could help with mental health and prevent isolation / loneliness.
Ignoring Wayfarer you could get yourself and your neighbours something new and exciting…
I don’t want to bore you with local politics, but I dont think so. But I’ll make something, somehow! 
You guys have been a great help in figuring out where to put my energy.
Sorry for the late reply. I assume it’s because “Freedom to roam nature” is one of our most fundamental laws, so “walking trails” isn’t really a thing. I am allowed to walk everywhere. I know of a pilgrim trail from here to Norway, but that’s it. Some skiing tracks that could be walked too, I guess? Higher up in the mountains and in nature reserves there’s some trails I think. I saw this sign and thought it could be a good equivalent
