Adding charges would be just as hard as giving discounts because I do not have a dog, so why should I pay for a dog park.
Also need hard, real numbers and facts about what the savings or lack of, would be for each alternative provided. Do not know the answer but unsubstantiated hyperbole is for sure not the answer.
Just my humble opinion, for what it is worth.

The creation of a park is not a recurring yearly expense. Once it's there, it just gets maintained.
Printing a newspaper incurs recurring expenses. Once it's printed, it gets discarded, and then printed again a week later.
There will be *A* savings. How much of a savings? I don't know. But it will be money saved that can be used for other things.
As someone said - just because something has been done the same way for years, doesn't mean it can't be improved and do it even better in the future. It doesn't mean that old ideas for improvement that were not addressed, are useless ideas.
It's a matter of saving money AND of being less wasteful with our natural resources. Why would you feel we SHOULD waste all the paper from people who just toss it in the trash, when there are ways to reduce that waste, that would actually save money in the process?
Why are people so dead set against that? I'm really confused and perplexed about that.
