    You could try performing a Places API Search Request with the keyword parameter instead of types parameter. This is often successful when searching for types of places that are not in the types list.

    e.g.

    https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?key=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&sensor=false&keyword=paragliding&location=37.3943,-122.151&radius=50000

    As per the documentation:

    The keyword parameter is matched against all content that Google has
    indexed for this Place, including but not limited to name, type, and
    address, as well as customer reviews and other third-party content.
