Don Vaughan (landscape architect)

Don W. Vaughan RCA (born June 21, 1937) is an American landscape architect based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

[3] Vaughan's park designs are often inspired by the Millicoma River in Coos County, Oregon where he spent his childhood summers.

[6] One of Vaughan's more ambitious landscapes is the 1986 Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver, where he and architect Joe Wai took ten years to persuade three levels of government and private donors to fund the project, which cost $6.1 million.

It is no exaggeration to say that by the sheer number, size, and significance of his projects he has influenced the urban fabric of Vancouver, contributing to the scenic and cosmopolitan city that we know today.

His legacy is impressive, including countless projects enjoyed by millions and an undeniable influence on the landscape architecture profession in Vancouver.
