Really cool looking place!
I've been lucky enough to visit Phoenix a few times now and here is what I've found has been effective for those urban ponds.
First, those lakes almost always hold numbers of Large mouth Bass, Channel Catfish, and Bluegill, assuming that this is a private lake, there is also probably Grass Carp to control the weed growth.
Your best bet is for Bass off of docks and such. I've had good luck on a simple drop shot rig and soft plastic swim baits, generally in a white/silver color in representation of a Shad.
Catfish are mainly predators so I would use a piece of a hot-dog, steak, liver, you name it. I like circle hooks but baitholder hooks will do the trick.
For bluegill, your average small curlytail grub should do the trick, on a small jighead.
and for Grass Carp, they are strictly herbivores and the best way to target them is by using corn or bread, again, baitholder hooks will work.
