Popular with morning walkers, it is approachable from IIT Delhi, Green Park[1], Hauz Khas Village, Safdarjung Enclave or from R K Puram near the courts side of the Delhi Lawn Tennis Association. The Deer Park along with the adjacent District Park (that houses the ancient Hauz Khas lake) and the Rose Garden make up one of the largest green areas in New Delhi and are collectively called "the lungs of Delhi" because they provide very fresh air in the otherwise polluted hustling bustling mega metropolitan Delhi.
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 7:30 PM during summer and 5:30 AM to 6:30 PM during winter.
