Softball Complexes

 Overall Ranking: 8/10 This park is located off of Lone Elm road. It is in the middle of nowhere it seems, but is a secret gem. This complex is a five dirt fields with grass outfield. These are some generic fields used for smaller tournaments, league games and practices throughout the week. The fields have pretty rocky infields and rough outfield. The plays of the infield can sometimes be tricky playing here due to the unpredictable hops. This is the same for the outfield. Over the years of practicing here it has improved and gotten better for playing. This field is always rechalked between each league game and tournament that is ran here. The warm up space here is a bit of an issue. There are two little areas between fields where you can warm up. Along with an open field of grass by the indoor facility that is a bit of walk from the fields. This is where many go to warm up just for the amount of space there. Now onto the indoor facility, many use this space for winter practices with t

 Overall Ranking: 9/10 The Blue Valley Rec complex is one that many in softball grow up playing at. These fields host tons of tournaments, but in recent years hasn't been as popular. This complex has two groups of four fields, along with then across the street two groups of four baseball fields. When playing tournaments at this complex it is great playing on the softball field with the appropriate distance fences. These are all dirt fields with very nice grass outfield. The fields are well kept up and majority of the time are chalked between each game. Sometimes the grounds crew will water the fields as well. With this maintenance in mind, the dirt is very thin and doesn't hold water very well. Multiple times playing at this complex games have been rained out due to this factor. The dugouts at this complex are very spacious and good for equipment to all fit in the dugout. Also plenty of space to sit down and not be crowded between innings of the game as well. There are many opt

 Overall Ranking: 4/10 This park is also located in the Boulder area of Colorado. East Mapleton fields had many of the same features that the Stazio fields had. This mean't dirt infield with grass outfield and the mesh temporary fences as well. The infield although with this field was not taken care of very well at all. When going to slide it was a very hard surface and rocky. This was very difficult for the infields playing on this field with unpredictable hops. Many errors were made throughout games due to this factor. The outfield was the complete opposite. The grass was very smooth and even throughout. Ground balls coming to the outfield were very consistent. The warmup spaces were very small with these fields. Either behind the fields or in between if you could find space were the only options.  Every team made due for the space they had even if they couldn't do a usual warm up. A major issue with these fields was that the dugouts were very, very small. They were both shor

 Overall Ranking: 9.5/10 When playing in Boulder, Colorado; Stazio fields is just the park you are looking for. This park is spread out through two areas of four fields grouped together. The fields were very taken care of for being dirt. The grass was very well taken care of as well. The conditions of the fields made the games very enjoyable to play. These fields were finished with temporary fences once again in the outfield. These temporary fences were net like and very easy to rob home runs. There were several play throughout watching different games where outfielders had the ability to lean into the fence and steal home runs.  With these type of fences in the outfield also meant that their was warmup space between the real fence and also those temporary fences. There was also an area in between each field for teams to warm up and prepare for the game ahead. The space for viewing on one section was very cool. The fields were under ground allowing for the viewers to see all plays of t
