add place new category

I recently wanted to add an new place, which is common area or play area made for kids to play n sit but its not a park, i am not getting a suitable category to add it, it would be helpful if google added a category called common area or public pathway something like that.

Hi @deepikarocks22 ,

Thank you for your contribution.

Please note that there are certain items in Google Maps that you cannot edit and these include landmarks, established points-of-interests or even the names of a city/township - Only Google can edit these although you can always send feedback and suggest your changes through Google maps.

To send feedback you can follow these steps below: you can do that by following the steps outlined here - Steps to send us feedback.

Hi @deepikarocks22

You can use Playground as category, or Amusement center, the one that fit better.

If as a local guide we cant add an new category, request google to do update the category list called “common area”

Hey @deepikarocks22 ,

Thank you for your response.

In the Idea Exchange section of Connect, there’s a similar idea submitted - Reconsider selection criteria for new places.
