Outdoor Athletic Fields

Baseball/Softball Fields

The City of Papillion outdoor baseball and softball fields are open March through October 31st each year depending on weather. 

NEW IN 2019. March is no longer first come first serve. Fields are reserved per field calendars (see below for calendars). Practices only allowed in March depending on weather and no lights or games until April 1st.

Any organization that is not a recognized user per the Field Utilization Guidelines, must rent the fields per the fee schedule.

Soccer Fields

The City of Papillion Soccer Complex fields are only used for league games through the Papillion Soccer Club, the Eastern Nebraska Soccer Association and the Nebraska Soccer League.  No practices or pick up games are allowed on the Soccer Complex Fields.  Rentals will only be allowed when applicable during the off season of soccer leagues.  Permits are required for the use of the fields.

Tournaments

The submission of a tournament application does not constitute approval of your tournament.  You will receive direct written acknowledgment of your application regarding its approval or rejection through the mail.  Because of field availability and the number of requests we receive, all tournament applications must be received by October 31st for the following year.  We will review each application in a timely manner and issue correspondence so that we may both prepare properly.

Please Note:  We are currently not accepting any baseball or softball tournaments that would be held during the months of April, May, June or July until new fields are constructed.
