History


Brown Park is a historic park operated by the City of Omaha.
The park is named for the former farmer whose land was purchased by the city in the 1910s to be turned into the park and baseball field. Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig did not play here, but at nearby League Park at 15th & Vinton, in a barnstorming tour in 1927.

The Brown Park baseball diamond is the home field for the Omaha South High School baseball team. A team sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1 in Omaha plays baseball for the Nebraska Reserve Baseball League with Brown Park as their home, as well. The field was recently renovated by the City of Omaha and renamed the John Stella Field at Brown Park to honor a long time South Omaha baseball booster. Stella coached the South High School team from 1985 through the 2001 season and has been an American Legion coach since 1982.
In 2019, a Field Turf infield was added, and the outfield Field Turf is set to be completed in spring 2020.
Since 2018, Brown Park has also been the home field for the Bellevue University Bruins baseball team.
