The Akridge Arboretum Park is a one acre park that was established in 1993 and developed around the Historic Presbytarian Church which is now used for weddings and reunions. The Akridge Arboretum Park was dedicated and named after the late Willie Akridge for his dedication and service as Principal for Calera High School. The Akridge Arboretum Society has recently worked with Landscape Architects at Southern Living to develop a masterplan for the renovation of the park.
