Another amazing segment of the Five Rivers Metroparks system is the Wegerzyn Gardens. The park boasts some charming nature trails, outstanding formal gardens, and the fascinating Swamp Forest.

Once you do choose your favorite location within the gardens, you can take your beloved by the hand, get down on one knee, and present the dazzling antique Knox Jewelers engagement ring that you have chosen for the occasion. As you adorn your partner with the sparkling vintage diamond, the two of you will feel nothing but elation and love for one another.

Dayton has a rich culture and history that you and your sweetheart can celebrate during your proposal. The Oregon Historic District has so much to offer the city-loving types. With its wealth of shops, antique homes and architecture, and delectable restaurants, there is no shortage of places to go and things to do while you are in the area. The Oregon Historic District is known for its nightlife, so make a plan for a romantic or exciting evening for you and your beloved. Begin your evening with a leisurely stroll through the many quaint shops throughout the neighborhood, where you can pick up an old book or a cute knickknack to commemorate the magical day.

Choose your favorite restaurant for a delicious meal. You can find dining experiences of every kind, from something fancy like Salar to something exotic like Thai 9. After your meal, head over to one of the many bars with live music and a jubilant crowd. The two of you can enjoy a cocktail and take a spin on the dance floor to help calm your nerves before the big moment. Finally, you can end the night with your proposal in the gazebo in Newcom Park. Take your beloved up the steps into the gazebo where you will drop to one knee and offer up not only the stunning vintage engagement ring from Knox Jewelers but also your heart. It will be a night that the two of you talk about for years to come.
