Hello, I don’t understand, the arena has disappeared and it has become a pokéstop. However, there are more than 20 waypoints in cell S14 and there are only 2 arenas. Can you explain to me ? Thanks Wayspot Title: Aire de jeux du Square du Pré Perché Location (lat/lon): 48,1065370, -1,6813410 Ci…

I want a clear answer from a mod

You are talking to one right now, but I’m guessing you mean Niantic team members. The Niantic team members on here are not from the Pokémon GO team. You would have to reach out to Pokémon GO support regarding the gym status of a wayspot. Also, please stay respectful and polite in your communication…
