Congratulations to the City of Graettinger!!! Recently Graettinger applied for a grant through AARP to help fund the pickleball courts currently under construction at Citizens Park. The grant program is part of AARP’s nationwide Livable Communities initiative, which supports the efforts of cities, towns, neighborhoods and rural areas to become great places to live for people of all ages, especially those age 50 and older. Since 2017, AARP Iowa has awarded 29 grants and over $300,000 through the program to nonprofit organizations and government entities across the state.
The pickleball courts and walkways will be a wonderful addition for our citizens, of all ages, to come together and enjoy our beautiful town.

The Gnats are out! These pesky bugs are aggressive around people and annoying, flying into people's faces, under their glasses, and into our ears. We have received inquiries asking if we can 'spray' for them. The City of Graettinger did reach out to our pest control professional's and they did advise us they did spray for mosquitoes, but the spray does not have any noticeable effect on gnats. Please follow these common prevention tips to help avoid bites:
1.Avoid bodies of water. Gnats are often found near swamps, ponds, marshes, and streams. ...
2. Cover exposed skin. Gnats usually bite around the face, but they can bite any area of exposed skin. ...
3. Use insect repellent. ...
4. Wear light clothing. ...
5. Wear closed shoes. ...
6. Install window screens. ...
7. Avoid using scented products.
It's time..... The Graettinger Pool will officially open this Saturday June 3, 2023.
Come join us daily from 12-8pm for some summer fun!
