==Location==<br />
The Deer Park along with the connected District Park (that houses the Hauz Khas lake) and adjacent Rose Garden make up one of the largest green areas in New Delhi. They are collectively called "the lungs of Delhi" because they provide fresh air in the otherwise polluted hustling bustling mega metropolitan Delhi.<ref>{{cite news|title=Hauz Khas deer park may close|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Hauz-Khas-deer-park-may-close/articleshow/39437301.cms|accessdate=18 October 2014|date=1 August 2014|work=The Times of India}}</ref> The park is easy to arrive at from Hauz khas Village, Safdarjang Enclave and Delhi Lawn Tennis Associations Courts.<br />
