East Mapleton Ball Fields

 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 short and narrow with limited bench. It made being in the dugout very uncomfortable. Also there are only three fields at this complex

The spectators are going to not have a very good time at these fields. There are three fields where teams are constantly playing and teams warming up. The parking here is very, very limited. Businesses nearby also close off their parking for the tournament and many have to find parking in surrounding neighborhoods. There is also no concession stand, but there is a whole foods right next to the field that many go to get snacks for them and the athletes. The best part for the spectators would have to be the view of the mountains of Colorado behind the fields. 

The kids tagging along had a tiny play ground if they want to play. It had a slide, couple swings and little playground. One thing that many like to do is rent out birdie scooters to ride around the area. This is at a small price and will keep them entertained.
