Boulder County to Sell North Broadway Complex
To our NBLL community,
On February 4, 2025, Boulder County announced its decision to sell the North Broadway Complex, which includes the Iris Baseball fields.
Boulder County press release: February 4, 2025 - Boulder County will Sell North Broadway Complex and Relocate Services to 28th Street
While the announcement did not specify the future use of the North Broadway property, Iris Fields are included in the North Broadway complex that is targeted for sale by the County.
For over 70 years, North Boulder Little League has been party to a Memorandum of Understanding for its use and access to Iris Fields with Boulder County. The County has confirmed North Boulder Little League will have access to the fields for the 2025 season.
We understand this news brings uncertainty for the future as many of us have deep connections to Iris. NBLL community members and the neighborhoods that surround Iris Fields will have the opportunity to provide input regarding the future of the North Broadway Complex property during the 2025 Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update this spring.
As further details emerge and community government proceedings are scheduled to take place, there will be the opportunity to have the community voices heard.
We welcome all members of our community to voice their concerns and advocate for the preservation of our Little League fields. Your participation is crucial in ensuring that our voices are heard and that we can continue to provide a valuable space for our children to learn, play, and grow through baseball.
Below, we have provided contact information for both the Boulder City Council and the Boulder County Commissioners:
