Possible targeted waypoint removals in Cantley Park, Doncaster, UK

Only going on the evidence I can see and the plausibility.

No “Walking Trail” is going to include “At this point, follow the course of the pitch and putt”.

If the Trail Like markers are indeed Trail Markers then they should be nominated as such. Personally, with the names you have listed above they are not trail markers, they are Hole or Tee Markers.

The council are definitely maintaining it as a Pitch and Putt as you clearly see Tees, fairways and Greens, if they where advising that cyclist should be running over it surely the pitch and putt items would be removed and the grass allowed to grow out.

I have highlighted the most obvious “walkways” between greens / tees and it is obviously laid out in such a way that you are expected to do 1 hole with the next tee close by. It is definitely not “spread out across the entire park.“ as shown on the map.

These wayspots are several years old, added during the OPR days. Before there was this additional frisbee/golf guidance. There is evidence from the council which is the local authority that there is a trail which goes around the pitch and putt area. The way to access Sandall Beat wood from Cantley Park is through the Pitch and Putt. Also the first and last pictures on that postcard are specifically of the Pitch and Putt and the aerial photo shows some of the Pitch and Putt because the Pitch and Putt covers a large area of the park starting at the Pavilion which is the building in the aerial view and finishes at Sandall Beat Wood. It’s nearly half of the entire park. If someone was randomly reporting the stops through wayfarer, wouldn’t Niantic have removed all the stops and not just ones that could be easily seen on IITC? Are we now reporting wayspots that were eligible during OPR and are no longer eligible?

As I said before, yes in the case of golf courses and some other things they will remove the wayspots.

You would be best advised to stick to describing as pitch and putt holes.



When you actually see the board it is clearly simply describing the hole - distance and hazards, although the wording paints a different picture.

If this doesn’t work out happy to help look for other things.

Wow. From that wording, someone knew that they weren’t eligible as markers for the course.

What usually happened when I reported disc golf course markers I saw in review is that the game location was removed, but the Wayspot was left. I assume that was so that they would be marking duplicate if resubmitted, but have never been told the reason it is done that way. I wonder if the wayspots are still there on the nomination map screen.

Hey @tylae ,

I understand your disappointment. However, these Wayspots were removed in light of the clarification shared above. There is no foul play here.

Hi Aaron, understood Thankyou. My concern for foul play is still active - we have had all of the remaining pitch and putt stops removed, we have now had 5 football pitches removed from the park and a wild area sign for a grand total of 25 POIs reported and removed.

This morning I was contacted by a player who frequents the park and got many POIs submitted in the area, telling me their POIs have gone and asking if I know what’s going on at Cantley Park.

Whoever is doing this is looking to decimate it completely. I have an evidence of a player we had to investigate and ban from our local community groups due to local player reports of fake POI nominations and false locations, targeting a waypoint in the area a couple of weeks ago to remove it. So there is some petty behaviour going on somewhere there. Should I send this to the report abuse channel?

Every report is reviewed by our team and actions are taken accordingly.

There is no abuse here.
