I am unsure why this nomination was rejected, as it meets the criteria. It is a parkour course located in a public park and is freely accessible to the public. The initial rejection cited it as a duplicate; however, there are no existing PokéStops in the surrounding area that represent a parkour course or the same subject. After appealing and clarifying its uniqueness, the rejection reason changed to being too close to school grounds??
The nearest school is approximately 0.3 miles away, and the nomination itself is not on or adjacent to school property. I would appreciate clarification or reconsideration, as this appears to be a valid and suitable nomination.

Welcome to the forums.
There is already a wayspot (possibly named incorrectly) that represents this feature: Dormers Hub Playground
This wayspot does not appear in Pokemon Go as a pokestop or gym due to the pokestop inclusion rules. “Dormers Wells Playground Swingset” or “Dormers Wells Leisure Centre Path” occupy that area already.
Not every wayspot that is in wayfarer will appear in Pokemon Go. When submitting new wayspots, always check the submission map with the toggle enabled so you can see what is already in the system.
There is a sports court (looks like a MUGA on streetview) to the immediate southwest of this location that would be eligible to appear in Pokemon Go,

Hello @Rysan433
The “school” reference is badly phrased as in your case I think it refers to the play centre - outlined in blue in this screenshot. It applies to under 18s.
It seems to have a small enclosed area to the west of building.
Streetview around this park is not great and some is quite old and satellite is also not the best.
If you haven’t learnt about cells and how they impact in Pokémon Go then thread this

I agree that the MUGA is just waiting to be a stop and that the swings set and the overall hub spots should have been duplicates. But they have stay as they are I think. The children’s playground seems wrongly located as that area seems to have older children equipment and the BMX track could be submitted as a distinct place. If there is no change then it might be a powerspot.
There looks like a one of those zip wires at the most westerly cross which if it’s still there could be submitted as that area seems separate. Is the yellow question mark where the parcours is?
If the distinct green circled area is the parcours ( or something else?) it seems to be that it is mostly in the bottom cell. Take several photos to show how it is distinct from the other play areas. This will help reduce risk of duplication. If there is a sign for this area include that to show it’s different.
I recommend using the web submission method. This allows up to 5 images to demonstrate your case - helpful when street view is not good.
There is potential for more here.
