Yosef Karo, Translation:Shulchan Aruch — Orach Chaim 518…
“ And it is permitted to play with a ball in the public domain even though this is just recreation (Tosafot and Rabbenu Yerucham) . If there is an eruv, it is permitted to carry and move everything that is a useful object, even something that is not at all related to a holiday need (Ra"n chapter 2 of Beitzah) . ”
