This page covers two things: how the It’s Georgia website works for people who use assistive tools, and what we can and can’t tell you about access at the places and events we cover. Where we haven’t confirmed something, we say so.
How This Website Works
- Keyboard. A “Skip to main content” link sits near the top of every page. A seasonal banner link comes before it, so press Tab twice. Search opens with Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac).
- Page structure. Each page has one main heading and a main content area.
- Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, the site’s animations follow that setting.
- Color contrast. We test text against the WCAG 2.1 AA contrast levels before we publish changes. The site has one color scheme and does not follow your device’s dark setting.
- Language. The site is in English (US).
What this section is not. It is our own description of the site. It is not the result of an outside audit, and we haven’t tested every screen reader and browser. If we missed something, that’s our miss.
What We Know About Access in Georgia
Not confirmed: It’s Georgia does not record step-free entrances, accessible restrooms or accessible seating for individual events and attractions. Our listings show dog and stroller access, which is not the same thing. The venue or organizer is the reliable source, and details change from one event to the next.
Georgia State Parks and Historic Sites
This is the one area where we have confirmed access information. Georgia State Parks’ own accessibility page, which we read on November 12, 2026, says the following:
- It links to a list of accessible facilities at each site, and for further questions it tells visitors to contact the site they plan to visit.
- The state lends free all-terrain wheelchairs at some locations (its Action Trackchair program) and free GRIT Freedom Chairs at a select few parks.
- Visitors with red-green color vision deficiency can reserve free Enchroma color-blind glasses at three parks: Cloudland Canyon, Sweetwater Creek and Skidaway Island.
Our state parks comparison shows which parks lend this equipment and how to reserve it. Not confirmed: which trails and facilities at any one park are step-free. The state’s facility list and the park office are the sources for that.
Everything Else
For festivals, museums, city attractions and other venues, we haven’t read an access page. Not confirmed. Ask the organizer or venue before you go.
Questions to Ask Before You Go
This is general guidance, not information from a named source.
- Is there a step-free route from the entrance to the area I want to visit?
- Is there accessible seating, and can a companion sit with me?
- Where are the accessible restrooms?
- Is there drop-off or parking close to the gate?
- Can I borrow a wheelchair or an all-terrain chair, and how do I reserve one?
- Are service animals allowed?
- Are there quiet times or places if crowds and noise are hard for me?
Tell Us What Is Wrong
If something on this site is hard to use, or you have access information from an official source for a place we cover, send it through the contact page. Include the page address and what you were trying to do.
Sources and What We Have Not Confirmed
We read the Georgia State Parks accessibility page on November 12, 2026, and checked the website features above the same day (the skip link and search by keyboard, and motion and color support in the page code). Details change, so check with the park or venue before you rely on anything here. This page is general information, not legal or medical advice. See our editorial standards for how we handle facts we can’t confirm.
