The Akridge Arboretum Park is a one-acre park that was established in 1993. A group of citizens, which is now knows as the Akridge Arboretum Society, was motivated to develop plans for restoration fo the land that was once used as an elementary school playground and develop a nature park.

In 1993, the group reached out locally for assistance in developing and maintaining the facility. The result is a volunteer work force working side-by-side, planning, and planting with the assistance and support of the City of Calera to develop the park.

The Akridge Arboretum Park was developed around the Historic Presbyterian Church, which is now used for weddings and reunions. The park was dedicated and named after the late Willie Akridge for his dedication and service as principal for Calera High School. For rental information on the historic Presbyterian Church for weddings contact City Hall at 205-668-3500.

The Akridge Arboretum Society has recently worked with Landscape Architects at Southern Living to develop a master plan for the renovation of the park which is now in the process of being implemented.
