I've been reading up on the uses of the particle から, particularly when it is
appended to the -te form of a verb where it takes on the meaning similar to
"after [verb], [sentence 2]"

However, when building this complex sentence I realized I don't really
understand how a sentence should be built. For example, these are two
variations of a sentence I came up with:

> ご飯を食べてから一緒に公園でさんぽしましょ。 "After [I] eat breakfast, let's go walk in the park."
>
> ご飯を食べてから公園で一緒にさんぽしましょ。 "After [I] eat breakfast, let's go to the park for a
> walk."

Both of these sentences look correct, but the second sentence doesn't seem
natural to me because it mentions the park before the noun "Issho". What would
be more proper, and is there a pattern I can follow?

Sentence structure for complex sentences
> ご飯を食べてから一緒に公園で/をさんぽしましょ。  
>  ご飯を食べてから公園で/を一緒にさんぽしましょ。  
>

... both sound natural to me and I don't see much difference between them.  
You can also say  

> ご飯の後で～～  
>  ご飯を食べたら～～  
>  ～～～一緒に公園にさんぽに行きましょ。  
>  etc.

I think the 2nd is natural also. 1st is [一緒に]->[公園で散歩], 2nd is [公園で]->[一緒に散歩].

1st strengthens "in the park", 2nd strengthens "with me".

The pattern is "to place the word _near_ a verb, if you want to make the word
strongly connected with the verb."

映画を見た後で私と食事をしましょう proposes "to eat" or "to take a lunch", not to go to a park,
etc.

映画を見た後で食事を私としましょう proposes "with me", not with other persons.
