Hello,
If I am verbose, I am aware. I know that we do not have the ability to add areas to Google Maps since that was abused in the past before that program was stopped. I wish to add a park to park but lack the ability since I am not a Google employee.
Let me show what I have including an edited (only text) screenshot from Google Maps and URL. Little Rock used to have War Memorial Park Golf Course before the mayor of Little Rock decided to close that and one other city golf course in 2019. That is on Google Maps and listed as permanently closed since the golf course is. In OpenStreetMap, War Memorial Stadium, Little Rock Zoo, Jim Dailey Fitness & Aquatic Center are not included in the park. I know what the official URL https://www.littlerock.gov/residents/parks-and-recreation/park-facility-trail-information/war-memorial-park/ from Little Rock Parks and Recreation’s website states.
Since this is an area that I cannot normally add to Google Maps, might I please receive that help? Let me add the screenshots. Parking for War Memorial Park (name) is typically at 5511 W Markham St Parking (location already on Google Maps) or across Coleman Creek at another end of Club House Drive downstream (south) of the pond.
If this is not posted in the correct location, I do not mind if you move this.

This is not a solution. “a park to park” should be “a park to Google Maps”. I cannot correct my mistake.
Hi @Androoh
Such data issues are better dealt with in the Maps support forum.
Hit the Community tab at the top and make a post. You need to attach or link to official documentation supporting the change you are proposing. Copyright-free governmental maps are probably the best proof you can attach.
Without such official documentation, you will not be successful.
It is not unusual that the user who created a place will only have a limited number (often only one) followup-edit before further edits are blocked.
Cheers
Morten

I did as you suggested 5 days ago. About how long does it usually take to receive a reply in Maps support forum? I did check there and Google Maps before asking. War Memorial Park has not been added. I can continue waiting if needed but some knowledge about how much time is usually required would be appreciated.

It is volunteers responding the Maps Support forum. In my experience the likelihood of getting help very much depend on how easy you make it for them to escalate it to the staff.
There is no guarantee that they will act, but you can try adding a reply where you politely ask if there is more you can do to get this fixed.
Best of luck
Morten
