Default Backyard floods

When it rains, my backyard floods. I believe the house (recently
purchased) has the subpump pushing the water out to the back of the
yard, and this is where it floods. The ground does slope inwards to
this spot (both sides, so its like a v, but not too steep). Any ideas
on how to prevent the flooding/fix it? Remove the pipe is probably
not realistic, and I am assuming there is a way to fix this with dirt.
I have a buddy who offered me red dirt to fill the area to level it
off. Will this work/help? Any ideas?

Thanks.
