This park, Jon Clipperton Park (43°34’55.5"N 79°42’46.6"W), appears to have no wayspots both in-game and on the wayfarer map.

Jon Clipperton Park is the darker green square with a small trail loop inside.

However when you try to nominate a stop using Pokemon GO’s in-game settings, these two wayspots appear:

I’m not sure why these wayspots are not appearing on either map, but my theory is that someone incorrectly reported them as being on school property becuase there is a school in the nearby building. Jon Clipperton park is not owned or used by the school. It is a public park owned and managed by the city, as evidenced by the fact that it has the city’s official park signage at the front (and renamed the park in 2014) and that it is not fenced off from the public. The school’s playground is the large fenced-off green space on the other side of the building.

Is there a way for these wayspots to be restored in-game and on the wayfarer map? These POIs are both elegible as places to exercise and explore, and they both exist in their own currently ‘unoccupied’ cell.

(Note: I did not nominate these wayspots so I do not have any rejection emails, etc. - I was going to until I saw there were existing ‘invisible’ POIs.)

Hello @TwistingPaths

It seems more likely that the management of the park requested these stops be turned off. Scopely Explorer Staff would be able to confirm if this is the case or not.

They are not showing as Community Submitted or Imported. Is this just something that happens or do you think this indicates some other issue?

:thinking: that’s odd. I didn’t pull it up so I didn’t notice that.

That’s what I found odd. I know that wayspots may not show up in-game for a number of reasons, but I found it odd that these stops don’t show up on the wayfarer map at all.

Hey @TwistingPaths ,

We have removed these Wayspots at the request of someone living in close proximity of this location.

This is working as intended. These Wayspots have been removed from the gameboard but continue to exist in our database.

I hope this helps.

Best,
