It is located along state highway 370 just east of South 126th Street, in an unincorporated area less than three miles (5 km) west of downtown Papillion, a suburb southwest of Omaha in Sarpy County, which owns the venue.

Every year, the Royals had to go on an extended two-week road trip in late May or early June to accommodate the NCAA's Men's College World Series.

[4][5] On December 3, 2008, team president Alan Stein announced that the Royals and Sarpy County had signed a memorandum of understanding regarding the construction of a new baseball stadium.

[6] On March 17, 2009, the Royals reached a formal agreement with the county for the stadium, and on July 1, Stein announced the deal had been made official.

[8] Omaha-based firm DLR Group was chosen as the lead architect and engineer for the project, with the Des Moines-based Weitz Company as general contractor.

[11][12][13] The Omaha Storm Chasers, sporting their new name and livery that were announced on November 15, 2010, moved into Werner Park on December 17.

In January 2015, the Sarpy County board of commissioners voted 4-1 to accept a nearly $600,000 bid from Daktronics of Brookings, South Dakota, for a new high-definition display.

The park features a 6,500 square feet (600 m2) children's play area located along the concourse behind left field with a carousel, inflatable bounce house, and other activities.

Having returned to Omaha from two road series versus the Albuquerque Isotopes and Round Rock Express to open their 2011 season, the Storm Chasers opened Werner Park five days later on April 16 with a 2–1 victory over the Nashville Sounds with 6,533 fans in attendance, as top Royals prospect Eric Hosmer went 3-for-3 in the victory.

[26] In July 2015, Werner Park hosted the Triple-A All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, the first time the events had been held in Omaha.

The Storm Chasers were represented at the game by Cheslor Cuthbert, Louis Coleman, and John Lamb as well as trainer Dave Innicca and manager Brian Poldberg, who skippered the PCL team.

[28] On March 25, 2019, the Storm Chasers hosted the Kansas City Royals in an exhibition game prior to the start of the 2019 season that drew 9,351 fans, the largest announced attendance in the history of Werner Park.

From fall 2019 to spring 2020, Werner Park underwent a $2.4 million renovation in order to prepare the playing surface and facilities for USL League One professional soccer club Union Omaha, that was originally scheduled to begin play in spring 2020; this schedule was subsequently affected by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
