JetBlue Park at Fenway South (or informally JetBlue Park) is a baseball park in Fort Myers, Florida,part of the Fenway South training and development facility.
Opened in March 2012 it is primarily the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox, replacing earlier separated facilities at City of Palms Park and elsewhere.The naming rights were purchased by JetBlue Airways,which has maintained major operations at Boston's Logan International Airport since 2004.

In 2008 the Red Sox began exploring the possibility of relocating their spring training facility. Their previous spring training facility, City of Palms Park, was lacking the modern amenities that other spring training ball parks had and was located two and half miles away from the teams minor league complex. Red Sox CEO Mike Dee visited Sarasota to talk with city officials about the possibility of the team moving there.

Sarasota County commissioners then voted 4-0 to approve the purchase of land for a Red Sox spring training facility. Fearing the possibility of losing the Red Sox the Lee County Commission voted in October 2008 to agree to build a new ballpark for the Red Sox. The Red Sox also signed a thirty year lease with the city of Fort Myers.The following April it was announced that the new stadium would be located on a 126 acre lot north of Southwest Florida International Airport.When the Red Sox announced they would stay in Fort Myers they stated the new stadium would be similar to Fenway Park. The architecture team was led by local Fort Myers firm Parker/Mudgett/Smith Architects, Inc. and Populous and assisted by Boston firm Quirk.The groundbreaking was in August 2010 and construction commenced in February 2011.
