Hi,
It may help to know what area of the country so people would know what could grow. Also are you allowed to remove the tree?
I would just plant hostas around the bottom of the tree. They are inexpensive and love the shade.
Looks like you need some color. If you can afford to buy a few interlocking stones and make a nice circle in the middle, dig out the bark, and fill the hole with garden fabric and then some top soil mixed with a bag of sheep or cow manure and plant some annuals or even some perennials suited to your location. Hostas grow big and fast and they should grow well under the tree. There all kinds of colors on the market today or you could even get a root from a neighbor to start.

I also live in a Mobil Home park
If the tree is own by the park. That means the land is there responsibility .
You may not be allowed to add any plants to the area with out approval.
Call me crazy, but I'd stay away from that tree.... the hostas sound GREAT!
Focusing on the area not directly under the tree, but towards the edge. A bench would be a great addition, and maybe one of those cute free-book alcoves. Your corner looks like a major one, perhaps the park managers will work with you to get a bench (do they have a storage area that might have one?) If you're into your mobile community, pehaps they'd all contribute to make it sweeter for all. BTW, Goo-gone is great for removing sap......
Hosts for shade only and ferns for texture. Be careful not to add ground cover that may be invasive. Add coral bells they come in different colors and leaves also add texture. See about adding some large bolder to make things look like are in a wooded area. Don't forget that you should always plant according to what the tag ststes. Hosts can really get big and fill up space nicely but they need the space and even though you can divide to strep your dollars you you end up the first couple of years with a sparse looking yard from all the division. I can recommend the Empress Wu. It's a beautiful hostage that grows large quickly and needs shade. It is my personal favorite. The thing can get up to 6 ft in diameter and has big leaves. It grows up and leaves stay up kinda looks tropical but I live in northern Illinois and I divided mine after first year and will divide once more just because I want three, I have the time in this home and it never looks small. I lovingly called it my queen before knowing it's real name I guess you can see by that, that it was very impressive. Embassy that area with gorgeous low maintenance shade plants.

It's actually a nice spot and I bet you can work some magic fairly easy using those short picket fences you have encircling the tree then filling in the fenced circle with ferns and hostas . Collect bird houses and feeders- check the dollar store, yard sales, etc --and hang them from the tree over the newly fenced area. Perhaps a bird bath too since you will be attracting birds. Rake your outlying mulch into that areas as well. Then further out from the circle remove any remaining old mulch and use pea gravel. It's not real expensive- no more then mulch. If you can collect some larger rocks use them in place of where you currently have the white picket fences (that you encircle the tree with). Within the pea gravel area set a bench or perhaps 2 chairs with a small table between.
