Challenger 7 Memorial Park: Lovely Park in Webster

October 9, 2014 by

Challenger 7 Memorial Park is perfect for hiking, running, walking, or just enjoying the great outdoors in Webster. The park was designed as a tribute to the seven astronauts who lost their lives in the Challenger Space Shuttle explosion. A monument is located within the park. Plenty of amenities are located in the park, like bathrooms, a few water fountains, benches, and playground areas. Enjoy a picnic lunch at one of the pavilions. Take a casual stroll on the boardwalk or explore nature on one of the trails. The trails are great for walking or running. They aren't too difficult but offer some challenges, like hills.

Texas Avenue Park: Outdoor Fun in Webster, Texas

February 13, 2014 by

One of the best spots in the Webster area to enjoy some outdoor recreation is the spacious and charming Texas Avenue Park. Covering twenty acres, this well-designed recreation destination has a little something for everyone.

A gravel walking and running trail stretches a little under half a mile and is often in use by people running laps. There are plenty of facilities for athletics as well – tennis courts, a baseball field and areas for basketball are all well-used. If you’d just like to relax, there are plenty of picnic areas with benches and free BBQ grills available. A covered pavilion is available for rent for parties and events. For kids, a huge and well-maintained playground will give them hours of fun times. The city keeps this park pristine, too, which is a bonus. One caveat: there are no dogs or other pets allowed in the park, on-leash or off, so leave your furry friends at home.

Jamba Juice: Fresh Juice in Webster, Texas

January 16, 2014 by

One of the most successful fast food franchises of the century is Jamba Juice. With a menu of smoothies that fuse fresh fruit and various nutritional additives to create filling, healthy drinks that leave diners satisfied, it’s staked out a comfortable niche in a crowded industry. And the Webster Jamba Juice is a sterling example of the franchise.

Unlike other smoothie places, Jamba Juice doesn’t use fruit syrups to make their drinks – everything is made from fresh fruits and vegetables. Some favorite combinations include the pomegranate pick-me-up, made from the antioxidant-rich superfruit along with strawberries, blueberries and raspberry sherbet. If you’re health-conscious, they also sell a number of vegetable-based smoothies like the orange carrot karma. Jamba Juice has also diversified into a variety of food offerings, including baked goods, breakfast wraps and flatbreads. The commitment to the environment extends through using recycled paper for all their cups.

There are plenty of places to pick up desserts in the Webster area, but one bakery that stands out from the pack is Nothing Bundt Cakes. As you might be able to infer from the name, this place specializes in bundt cakes, those distinctive ring-shaped treats that originate from northern Europe. In 1997, two long-time friends from Webster came together with the desire to start their own business. They realized that they had a real talent for baking and perfected a unique bundt cake recipe using the best available ingredients.

Some of the favorite offerings at Nothing Bundt Cakes include the lemon, which is refreshing and invigorating, as well as the comforting pumpkin spice. They’re famous for the rich frosted cream cheese petals that top every cake. You can get their cakes in a variety of sizes, from family-size desserts to cute little individual portions, and prices are very reasonable.
