There is a playground next to my house. How can I make a pokestop?

Be level 35, open your game, go to settings, then uploads. Follow whatever it says.

Hello and welcome,

First off, review the [Wayspot Criteria,](https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/section/166-wayspot-criteria/?l=en&p=web) so you know what makes a good Wayspot nomination. Then, more info on how to access Wayfarer can be found here: [How can I access Niantic Wayfarer? — Wayfarer Help Center](https://niantic.helpshift.com/hc/en/21-wayfarer/faq/2098-how-can-i-access-niantic-wayfarer/?l=en&p=web)

Hello,

It looks easy but it is also easy to get it wrong and be disappointed.

It will feel a bit of a pain but do read this article

> [@Top Mistakes Made When Nominating, and How to Avoid Them](https://community.wayfarer.scopely.com/t/top-mistakes-made-when-nominating-and-how-to-avoid-them/5424):
>
> This was originally posted on Pokemon Go Hub and on the original Wayfarer forums, and modified slightly for a broader audience here, it was suggested that I post it here as well. I’ve removed some of the Pokémon Go specific bits, if you’d like to read the article in its original format you can find it [here](https://pokemongohub.net/post/news/niantic-wayfarer-top-mistakes-made-when-nominating-pokestops-and-tips-to-avoid-them/): I’ve also tweaked it slightly, as some things have changed. Hello Explorers, Now that I’ve passed 18,000 reviews and 11,000 agreements on Wayfarer, I wanted to take some time to go over so…

There is a lot of great advice.

If you want specific help and are willing to share, you can show us where it is …..it might be that only 1 pokestop is possible but also it may be that you could get more.

I am moving this to nomination support so we can help.
