Around here, we have several airports where the jump area is right
over the airport. The jumpers land in the grass next to the runway.


Taking in mind that everybody is circling *around* the airport or being
pretty
in line with runway on pretty low altitude that should not pose a problem?

Right, jumpers always hit their target, never come down under the downwind.



No airplane is supposed to be ,,next to the runway'' or enywhere higher up
from that point, am I right?

No, you're not. It is not uncommon and perfectly legal for say a Super
Cub to use the grass between the runway and taxiway to save wear and
tear on his tundra tires.
