Hi!
I’m hoping for some advice on if this could meet the criteria for eligibility.
As per my attached diagram, there is a park (named as a “Reserve”) that is composed of two parts - a playground area for young children and an open grassy space good for picnics, family/friends running and sporting play, etc.
The open area is accessible via a grassy path next to the playground (marked with the X).
There are no physical signs naming this location or pointing to the open space. Honestly the open area is a hidden gem that locals know and love but not many others know about.
Google Maps and online maps via the local council’s website can prove the name and location exist.
There is tree cover so satellite view is a challenge.
Assuming I can take the correct photos to help prove it exists and that my intentions are in good faith with Scopely Explore’s rules - is this valid to submit as multiple POIs in Wayfarer?
How would you approach this as a submitter or reviewer?
You obscured the location, which is fine, but makes it difficult to give you a specific answer.
The playground seems like an easy nomination, especially if it can be seen on Maps.
An open, grassy space is a more difficult nomination. A wayspot
Must be a permanent physical, tangible, and identifiable place or object, or object that placemarks an area

An entrance to a park can also be a good wayspot, but without a sign, can be difficult to get accepted.
Linking to the local council site in the supporting section can help.
If you use the Web Submit form, you can submit multiple supporting photos for each nomination.
Thanks cyndiepooh.
I intentionally obscured the location to keep it broad - I’m trying to get my understanding right and using this as an example before specifics.
It often depends on the size of the space - whether it “deserves” multiple wayspots.
You have a playground, so that’s one wayspot. Does the rest of the space have enough about it that it is worth exploring in its own right or is it only the playground that makes people come here.
This specific area comes across as too small, especially if access is only past the playground.
