Werner Park is a Minor League Baseball ballpark located just west of Papillion, Nebraska, a suburban city southwest of Omaha in Sarpy County. Opened in 2011, it is owned by Sarpy County. It is the home of the Omaha Storm Chasers (the Triple A affiliate of Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals) and USL League One professional soccer club Union Omaha. The Omaha Mavericks of the University of Nebraska Omaha also use the stadium for some home college baseball games.

The ballpark cost $36 million to construct, and is located along Nebraska Highway 370 just east of South 126th Street, less than three miles (5 km) west of downtown Papillion in an unincorporated area of Sarpy County.[2]
