The Selling of Iris Ball Fields

Boulder, CO – February 17, 2025 – Boulder families and community members are rallying to prevent the sale of Iris Fields, a cherished home of nearly 70 years for Little League baseball and youth sports.

Boulder County announced on February 4th, 2025, its intent to sell the 17.5 acre North Broadway Complex which includes Iris Fields.  This act would erase a key part of the city’s recreational landscape.

“This isn’t just about baseball,” says local organizer Thomas Click. “It’s about preserving a space where generations of kids have learned teamwork, discipline, and the value of community.”

A petition to stop the sale is being circulated with hundreds of signatures collected over the last 24 hours. Concerned residents contend Boulder City and County should prioritize preserving public green space.  

Boulder City and County residents are requested to contact City Council and provide their input on the County's decision to shutter Iris Fields.  Residents are asked to consider signing the petition and contact local officials to voice their opposition.
