I don’t understand why my wayfair doesn’t meet the criteria of being an eligible poke stop? It’s a welcome sign easily accessible to the public with sidewalk access and is overall very pretty walking spot that tons of people even outside the community come to visit every day. I see plenty of signs t…

Something can be surrounded by private properties. It cannot be on the private property. Think of a wayspot on the pavement (sidewalk), near a main road. It is OK because it is near the main road, but not on it.

“Objects in or upon apartment blocks, gated communities, or their shared spaces may be eligible assuming they otherwise meet criteria and are intended to be accessed by a community“ this is a shared open space for anyone to enter. Why are you so convinced this is private property

Most parks don’t have those anyway they’re sidewalks people walk around on. People can socialize and exercise and meetup. You’re trying to make up an issue here when there isn’t one
