Ed Kuepper Park Opens In Brisbane: 'I'm Both Humbly Flattered & Honoured'

The Saints' Ed Kuepper has been honoured in Brisbane over the weekend with the opening of the Ed Kuepper Park. 

Located in Oxley, a local park has been renamed in dedication to Kuepper after more than 800 signatures were collected by local Maurice 'Moz' Murphy, as reported by The Guardian. 

Murphy has taken to Twitter to share a photo of Kuepper at the park, as well as saying, "Over the last year or so I've run a small community campaign in Oxley to name a park after music icon and once local Ed Kuepper. Yesterday Ed's park was unveiled by the man himself!"

Kuepper has shared his own sentiments saying, "Thanks Moz and everyone that supported this and help bring it to fruition… I'm both humbly flattered and honoured… Thank you one and all… Now about that three story statue…"

The park renaming comes just months after a mural was unveiled in Brisbane's Roma Street to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Saints' iconic debut album, (I’m) Stranded.
