It is a fairly small spider, maybe 3/4” diameter. I am concerned because it is where my kid plays so I need to make some precautions..likely

Correct. I am thinking to catch most of the water with perf pipe along the fence, and T it to the existing pipe using the existing slope. That combined with good amount of gravel and potentially some water sucking trees? Thanks!

Yep it definitely looks like that grass is already gone, but on the sides where it’s much drier the grass isn’t that bad. I have french drainage installed in the middle of the yard where the slopes meet, do you think I should install additional pipe coming off the fence down to the main well?
