Fenton Park is an eastern suburb in Rotorua in the Bay of Plenty Region of New Zealand's North Island. Fenton Street contains Rotorua's main motel strip and is sometimes referred to as "Motel Mile".[3]

State Highway 30 runs through the southern part of the suburb and SH 30A runs along the northeast boundary. Arawa Park racecourse is in the northern part.[4] The Murray Linton Rose Garden, which opened in 1970, is a public park which was named after Murray Linton, a former mayor of Rotorua.[5]
