==Location==<br />
The Deer Park along with the connected District Park (that houses the Hauz Khas lake) and adjacent Rose Garden (accessible from IIT Delhi and Safdarjung Development Area) make up one of the largest green areas in New Delhi and 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|work=1 August 2014|agency=Times of India}}</ref><br />
A simmering water body makes it more attractive and is the perfect haunt of nature lovers. The park is easy to arrive at from Hauz khas Village, Safdarjang Enclave and Delhi Lawn Tennis Associations Courts.<br />
<br />
== Biodiversity Park ==<br />
The Park has four different wings i.e. Rose Garden, Deer Park, Fountain & District Park, Old Monuments and Hauz Khas Art Market. One can enjoy the entire area, once inside the park one cannot believe to be in the heart of Delhi. Besides the above the Park has a beautiful restaurant "Park Baluchi" the right place to enjoy a day trip.<br />
<br />
It is called Deer Park because it actually houses a large number of deer inside the park. There is a large enclosure in the park for deer to roam around, play with each other, have an occasional friendly fight and provide a learning and entertaining experience to the visitors especially the children. Entry to the Deer Park and the surrounding green park is free and it is open everyday from 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM during summer till October and 5:30 AM to 7:00 PM during winter.<ref>{{cite web|title=Deer Park, Delhi|url=http://www.indfy.com/delhi/tourist-places-to-visit/parks-and-gardens/deer-park.html|website=indfy.com|accessdate=18 October 2014}}</ref><br />
