During the line's construction, the remains of people believed to be of the Aztecs were found at the station site.[5]

The station is located south of the city center, at the intersection between Eje 7 Sur Municipio Libre and Calle Uxmal. It is built underground.

The name originates from a nearby park, commonly known as "Parque de los Venados" (Park of the Deer) on account of the deer statues located there, but which was originally named "Parque Francisco Villa" in honour of the eponymous Mexican revolutionary leader.
