The park specifically houses Chital or axis deer, known for their distinctive white spots that persist throughout adulthood.
The facility is situated on the premises of the Brigif 17/Kujang I military headquarters, an active Indonesian Army installation.
It is one of the few urban parks in the Jakarta metropolitan area that integrates wildlife conservation with military base land use.
The deer are often fed by visitors with approved feed, such as carrots or kangkung, available near the site.
The location is effectively a semi-enclosed habitat designed for both public education and the welfare of the deer herd.
Taman Rusa Bintik Putih is a deer sanctuary located within the Brigif 17 military complex in Cijantung, East Jakarta. The park features a designated enclosure where visitors can observe axis deer (spotted deer) in a semi-captive, naturalized environment. It serves as an accessible green space for families and residents to engage with wildlife within an urban military setting. The grounds include pathways around the deer paddocks and areas for observation. The facility functions as an educational recreational spot, emphasizing wildlife interaction. As of June 2026, the park remains integrated within the operational grounds of the Indonesian Army's 17th Infantry Brigade.

Bring your own carrots or water spinach, though check on-site if there are restrictions on outside feed.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the terrain can be uneven and dusty.

Avoid visiting during heavy rain, as the unpaved paths become muddy and the deer typically retreat to sheltered areas.

Maintain a quiet demeanor to avoid startling the animals and do not attempt to enter the enclosure or feed the deer restricted food items.
