Looking for other Trainers to play with?
If you’re looking for Trainers in your area to trade, battle, or join raids with on Community Day Classic, check out our Community Day map! Here you can find Community Ambassador events and local parks.
Community Ambassadors receive support from Niantic to run Pokémon GO events for their communities. If there are no Community Ambassadors near you, you can also search Campfire and find other meetups in your area.
The parks also marked on the Community Day map are historically popular places for Trainers to gather during Community Day events. These parks could be a fun option to play with your local community while enjoying some fresh air.* We hope this map helps Trainers connect!
*Popular locations are provided for informational purposes only. Niantic is not hosting or operating official or unofficial events at these locations. Please be aware of your surroundings when playing Niantic games.
Please be aware of your surroundings and follow guidelines from local health authorities when playing Pokémon GO. Upcoming events are subject to change. Be sure to follow us on social media, opt in to receiving push notifications, and subscribe to our emails to stay updated.
