Why Choose Shakespeare Garden for Your Proposal?
Shakespeare Garden (location here) is a four-acre landscape designed to feel like an English countryside garden, with winding pathways, blooming flowers, rustic benches, and charming wooden fences. Its intimate corners and natural beauty make it the perfect backdrop for a surprise proposal in Central Park. Unlike the busier areas of the park—like Bow Bridge, Bethesda Terrace, or The Mall—Shakespeare Garden feels more private and secluded. The garden’s elevation even gives way to unexpected views of Belvedere Castle, adding a fairytale element to the experience.
Making Your NYC Proposal Unforgettable
Every proposal in Central Park tells its own love story, but Shakespeare Garden is one of the more unique and private backdrops for popping the question. Its mix of natural beauty, seclusion, and ease of access makes it ideal for couples who want a personal and romantic moment in the heart of New York City.
