AdventHealth Tampa and the University of South Florida both tout a large presence in the neighborhood, drawing many students and employees to the area. Lettuce Lake Park offers a natural reprieve from the bustling district, where residents and visitors alike enjoy hiking, birdwatching, fishing, and canoeing.
