Adding locations such as parks

I am a Level 7 Local Guide who has come across a number of locations that do not appear in Google Maps. They include small parks and cemeteries. I understand Google Maps has a way to add locations but parks and cemeteries are not among the allowed options. Is there any way I can add such locations?

Hi @srschwinn, you add them just the way you add a missine business for example. On Google Maps, "Add a missing place"

I'm a New Zealander (Kiwi) and currently live in Tauranga. I've previously lived in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Czech Republic, and England, for a 15 year period. I've travelled to 6 continents and been to 57 countries.

Hello @srschwinn,

Re: Adding locations such as parks

Park category is no longer an option. Do you know why? Is there another category? I am trying to add a park.
