Oleskiw

Nestled south of Wolf Willow Ravine and east of 170 Street along the scenic North Saskatchewan River, Oleskiw stands out as one of Edmonton’s expansive residential hubs. Its charming streets, adorned with names beginning with the letter “W,” weave a delightful tapestry of keyhole crescents and curvilinear paths. While single-detached homes dominate the landscape, a smattering of higher density housing adds diversity near a cozy commercial center in the northwest corner. Anchoring the community is a serene central park, boasting a majestic tree stand and providing a tranquil retreat for residents.
Notably, Oleskiw is home to the esteemed Edmonton Golf and Country Club, whose lush fairways grace the southern expanse, offering picturesque views to many Oleskiw households. Originally christened “Wolf Willow Farms,” the neighborhood pays homage to Dr. Oleskiw, a revered academic instrumental in the settlement of Edmonton’s early Ukrainian pioneers.
