Wayspot nomination

Please provide:

  • A screenshot of your nomination, including rejection reasons if it has already been rejected
  • Include the title, description, both photos, and supplemental information
  • Copy and paste the title, description and supplemental so others can translate them
  • If you feel comfortable please share the location, as it is helpful (i.e. hidden duplicates), but you can mask it if you wish.

There is a pond in my community that I keep trying to nominate as a spot because we have very few pocus stops near us but so many can be created and they keep getting shut down. I don’t understand why we don’t have sidewalks here, but everybody walks around here safely because it is a trailer home community. That is how these places are designed. I don’t know if that’s why my nomination keeps getting tucked down, but there is clearly enough room around the pond for people to standby and go there and feed the ducks and the fish people walk by all the time in the community. I don’t understand why it keeps getting denied.

As listed in the instructions, please show us screenshots of your full nomination. This is just a copy of the rejection email. We can’t explain why it was rejected without seeing the actual nomination.

Welcome to the forums :slight_smile:

A wayspot location needs to be safely accessible, but this is not what makes a wayspot.

A wayspot needs to be something of significant interest, which is based around it being something that is great for being Social (e.g., a community centre), great for Exercise (e.g., a physical gym, a playground, a named trail), and/or great for Exploring (e.g., a mural).

Please have a look at these for understanding what makes a good wayspot.
