How much damage to grass?

It's a long-standing ambition of mine (and of a colleague, for that matter) to land a plane on the pitches at the school where I work.

There's no problem with the quality of the surface (like a billiard table, grass mown to within a 1/4" of its life!) or the amount of room available, but how much damage would a moderately well-flown landing and take-off do to their beautiful surface, either dry as at present or when wetter? That's likely to be the main objection.

(edited to add: type could be PA28, C152 or T67 if folks reckon one is less damaging than the others!)
