No.

10.2.1 There should be room enough on the apron to provide for the number and types of aircraft expected to use it with adequate safety margins from obstructions including parked aircraft. The design of the apron should aim at facilitating the movement of aircraft and avoiding difficult manoeuvres which might require undesirable use of excessive amounts of engine thrust, or impose abnormal stress on tyres.

10.2.2 The dimensions of the apron should be such that the minimum clearance between a manoeuvring aircraft and any obstruction is 20% of wingspan.
In this respect, the grass would count as an 'obstruction' as you clearly can't go there.
