Any waymarks describing off-leash areas may be placed in this category.
Do I have to physically visit the park to record a waymark there?
Yes! ~ (you may not
however log this waymark as visited, until you make a special trip to it).
The whole point of this category is to help people find 'Off-Leash Parks' close to them that they might not otherwise know about.
What coordinates should I use?
Coordinates should be for the MAIN parking area for the park. Some very large parks have many different parking areas accessible from
different locations. In this case you should fill out the "Additional Parking
Coordinates" fields. (see
Nose Hill ) for a prime example of this. Other waymarks may not have any appropriate parking area associated with them at all, in which case you may use
a point in the middle of the park (see
here for an example)
If the co-ordinates you post are not for the parking area, but are instead for some other location, please specify this on your waymark page.
Why wasn't my waymark accepted?
There are two common reasons why we have had to decline to list waymarks in
this category. Fortunately they are very easy to fix.
- Your waymark name is non-descript. "Pet's playplace" isn't really a good
name for the waymark (unless this is the actual name of the park). When
describing your waymark, you should have enough information there that
someone could even find the park without their GPS.
Now that my waymark has been accepted, what do I
need to do?
Its up to you as the waymark owner to police the integrity of the logs on
your waymarks. Typically this means that each log on the waymark must
have at least one picture associated with it. That picture should either include
a GPS showing the current location, or some recognizable feature of the park, like a sign or trespass regulations.
(this ensures that no one can come along afterwards questioning the accuracy of the logs).
