A single playground can be represented by a single wayspot. Multiple items of equipment in a single playground are not separately eligible. Please check Playgrounds
I see these in reviews often. So moving forward, I should mark them as a duplicate?
If they are separated by a fence (e.g. a children’s area and a toddlers’ area) then they are both eligible.
If they have a fair amount of distance between them (a judgement call, but I go with <30-40 metres) then I would say they are separate play areas.
If neither of those apply (as in this case), then yes, duplicate.
Some are easy.
For example, Millhouses Park in Sheffield has a playground. One wayspot, despite it being fairly large, because the zip line is next to an obstacle course which leads away from the trampoline etc. There’s no separation.
Next to this is a water park, which has clear separation, so is its own wayspot.
Individual pieces of playground equipment to review are always suspicious.
What about the zip line? Can it be a wayspot or is the distance not enough?
Streetview is not up to date. Swings are located on the area below the slide thats why I nominated them seperately
It always felt like part of the playground. There are gates to the NE, SW and SE marking the playground area, which is relatively large, but still a defined area. On the other side of the path is the assault course, so it isn’t /separate/.
The water park is within this, but has a hedge separating it and has its own entrances within the overall space, so legitimately separate.
The zip line has gone now, so that issue is moot.
StreetView is dated to September 2025, and it’s definitely the same slide set.
Assuming that this was removed due to being a duplicate, you’ll probably need some better evidence / supporting photos to prove otherwise.
I am planning to nominate a new park. The playground is similar to your zipline since they are for different age groups I assumed its okay to nominate them seperately.
Ziplines are an odd one. Due to their nature, they are often placed some distance away from other play areas.
Sometimes enough distance, sometimes not enough. Again, it comes down to a judgement call.
For comparison, this zip line (bottom left) at Graves Park, also Sheffield, is a separate wayspot from the playground, which is a single wayspot.
This is easy to describe as legitimately separate, as it is outside the playground! You can see the fence around the southern edge of the playground in the Google aerial images.
Here’s a small park. The highlighted waypoint is a zipline that isn’t yet appearing on satellite, but is separated from the play area (the red circle) by distance and a small picnic area:
The real question here is whether the swings can be counted separately as well, given that they are outside of the fenced playground area.
I think you’d be pushing your luck with that one*, but I honestly don’t know.
*Especially because the photo for the playground has the swings in shot
I would treat the zip line and swings as one area, outside the playground. When it comes to submitting, the swings being in the playground photo makes it easy to go for the zip line by itself.
Yeah, also a valid way to look at it.
I think the point I’m lurching towards is that it’s always a case by case situation, but in the OP’s case, the two do appear to be part of the same play area by any standard.
Thanks for the appeal, @sparky0909! We have taken another look, but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
