Oh wow that's strange. I have never seen anyone out there. I guess they are a little protective of their land when they are out there. Did they actually see you flying or did they just follow you for no reason?
FYI here is a list of parks in phoenix that you can fly at.

It appears you also must be a member of the AMA (which I am), to fly in these parks. Any recommendations on which one is better suited for a Phantom?
I can't recommend a park for sure since I've never yet taken my P2 up there. I looked at each park in Google maps / earth. It really depends where you are and how far you want to drive. These parks are all over the phoenix area and you can spend a lot of time in traffic if you get on the highway close to rush hour. These are approved parks and you have an AMA card so it's just a matter of what is closer to you. I'd have a look at them on google maps and maybe pick a couple. I think all of these parks you can pull up with a search and see photos to get an idea what they look like.
Coyote Basin Park- 2730 E. Beardsley Rd. (27th Place and Beardsley Road)
Desert Foothills Park - Lower Field - 1010 Marketplace Southwest (Chandler Boulevard and Desert Foothills Parkway)
Dynamite Park - 4550 E. Dynamite Blvd. (north of Dynamite Road at 44th Street)
El Prado Park- 6428 S. 19th Ave. (19th Avenue and Southern Avenue)
Esteban Park- Eastern Quadrant. 3345 E. Roeser Road (32nd Street and Broadway Road) -
This park is about 2 - 2 1/2 miles or less to Sky Harbor airport. I wouldn't pick that one but others may be fine with it. I also see police regularly hang out here.
Grover's Basin Park B - 17447 N. 20th St. (Cave Creek Road and Grovers)
Mountain View II Park- open space south of the ballfield, 9901 N. 7th Avenue, (7th and Cinnabar avenues)
Werner's Field Park - 17831 N. 7th Ave. (7th and Grovers avenues)
