Barbara L. Danelesko was the victim of one of Edmonton's most notorious murders. A mother of two, the 36-year-old Danelesko was killed in her home during a break-in by two juveniles in April 1994. She was an active member of her community who volunteered with the local hockey league and her children's school. The Barbara Danelesko Park is in the Minchau neighbourhood and has an area of 0.49 ha.

A quiet neighbourhood park in southeast Edmonton, Barbara Danelesko Park features open grassy areas, tree-lined paths, and small playgrounds that connect directly to the city’s trail network. It’s named in memory of Barbara Danelesko, a young Edmonton resident whose story inspired community safety initiatives in the 1990s. The park offers a peaceful green corridor for walking or cycling between nearby residential areas and larger parks.
