The fate of North Boulder’s popular Iris baseball fields is in question after Boulder County officials announced plans to sell the North Broadway Complex, the 17.5-acre site that includes the ball fields and county office buildings.
For nearly 70 years, the Iris Fields at 1333 Iris Ave. have been a staple of North Boulder’s community, hosting North Boulder Little League games for kids ages 5 to 12. Generations of Boulderites have spent spring and summer seasons playing ball and making memories. But with the county planning to move its offices to a new location, families worry the sale could mean losing a treasured community space.
