The legion field in Ta Ha Zouka Park in Elkhorn is one of the best in the state. Elkhorn was a city of
about 6,000 people before being swallowed by Omaha and its mayor Mike Fahey. Elkhorn maintains its
identity through its excellent school system and community organizations. From t-ball to Legion,
Elkhorn has an excellent ensemble of facilities, structure, coaches and community support.
The park has a great grass infield and solid turf in the outfield. There is a wood fence surrounding
the field. It features a substantial main grandstand with a roof and a nice press box. There are
bleachers down both baselines, picnic tables and concession stands. |

There is a dedication plaque to Bob Gottsch and the field is called Frerichs Legion Field. There are numerous banners hanging below the scoreboard providing a litany of state championships. Next to the grandstand is a great sculpture of a player sliding into home and behind it is a set of plaques for each of their championship seasons. In addition there are two display cases with trophies. | |

Elkhorn also has a great baseball history with town teams dating back to the 1890's. The next two photos are from the town team of 1910. |
