OUR MISSION
A Legacy of Love & Community Healing
Maximillion’s Muddy Puddles (MMP) is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in honor of four-year-old Maximillion Wood. Our mission is twofold: to support families navigating the tragic loss of a child and to build a permanent community space designed for recreation, remembrance, and connection.

100% free admission, zero-depth entry, and ADA-compliant design so children of all abilities can play side-by-side.
Grassroots Driven
Over $120k already raised through strong local community support and local grant partnerships.
