Tampa-Hillsborough County librarian Pamela Tucker describes Mango as understated and suburbanesque. "You can still find lots of trees and some rural spots. Housing developments usually have one road in and out for commuters to access major highways," she says. And while the name may invite images of sunset-colored tropical fruit – not out of place with Florida’s own associations with orange fruit harvests in its famously warm climate – there are no mango trees to be found here. There is, however, a small community made up of parks with lots of activities, a strong school district and distinctive homes. This piece of Hillsborough County has no frills and no fuss - just simple, modest and comfortable living.
The Mango neighborhood sits among the trees with Tampa in the background.
The Mango Dog Park has two areas for larger and smaller dogs.

Dogs and drones
The parks in the community give residents spaces to relax, take walks or go for a jog. They can take the pups to Mango Dog Park, where both small and large dogs each have their own open areas to run around in. They can also shoot hoops or try out drone racing at the Mango Recreation Center. The lake at Tanner Road Park is a refreshing spot to unwind and observe the pelicans and other local wildlife.

Dining and shopping in Mango
While there are not many dining spots in Mango, the few in the area take pride in serving quality food out to the community. Martha’s Diner and Family Restaurant is one example of this. By providing diners with an extensive menu of breakfasts and Southern fare, they are considered a neighborhood favorite by visitors from all over the county. Grocery shopping can be done at Publix, ALDI or Winn-Dixie. The Brandon Mall is less than five miles away and supplies shoppers with lots of familiar retail brands and restaurants.

Events big and small around the area
There are several places in Mango that provide family-friendly events. The Mango Recreation Center provides after-school programs and summer camps for the kids. The Seffner-Mango Library is a reliable resource for residents, where they can do everything from check out books and DVDs, attend story hours and browse the photograph collection purchased by the Hillsborough County Public Art Program. There’s even a station where residents can recycle their cooking oil, part of the county’s sustainability efforts. Residents can also travel outward to Brandon for trivia at Fox & Hounds British Pub or Tampa for events like Super Retro Con, an 80s and 90s pop culture convention. For residents of faith, there are also a few churches scattered in and around the community.
Live music is played inside the spacious room at the Tiki Hut Bar and Grill in Mango/Seffner.
