Hi, wanted to ask about my wayspot nomination which I nominated in a recently renovated garden. It has been accepted for over a week, but it is not showing up in Pokemon Go (shows up in Ingress)
Have been reading similar experiences, but there is no pokestop around the area and hence not in the same Level 17 S2 Cell as others have mentioned. Some of my other nominations in the park have not appeared too even after a week, so would greatly appreciate any answers thank you!

I can see at least two other wayspots in the same cell as your approved nomination. However given your comment that there are no pokestops around there, it is highly likely that there is a geoblock in place at the request of the property owner.
If there is a geoblock in place then it is currently setup to block any wayspots in the area from appearing just in Pokemon Go.
Ah yes, but its strange only the Japanese Garden and Chinese Garden section of the gardens have no pokestops. The lakeside garden part has many pokestops.
Maybe an oversight by niantic, although the park has already been reopened for a few months? This is a public park and previously there was even sponsored pokestops by nparks, who manages the park in the area
But thanks so much!
So those two gardens were closed for a while for renovations?
Prehaps the geoblock of those two sections were requested by NParks because they were going to be closed for renovations. However since the reopening they haven’t sent a request to have the geoblock lifted.
A Niantic mod would be able to give further details on if a geoblock is in place.

Yep it was closed for renovations and recently opened. Thanks so much, hope that the niantic team can advise!
Can you provide a weblink about it reopening and / or a geotagged up to date photo?
Essentially some evidence that it is accessible again, as I’m not sure if the submission process removes that sort of data.
Heres some articles and the government’s report on it reopening. I currently dont have geo-tagged pictures, disabled that to save storage
But nonetheless the pictures of the wayspots i nominated are the up to date ones that i took!

Thanks I’ll move this to the technical support area as staff check in that section.

Thanks for informing us of completion of the renovation projects. I have removed the restrictions from this location. You should see the changes reflected soon.
