The club played in the Palestra "Dante Alighieri" (capacity:300) from 1970 to 1982 and the Palestra "Tenente Alberti" (capacity:800) from 1982 to 1986.
After spending the 1986-87 season in the Marsala based Palasport "Fortunato Bellina" (capacity:600), the side moved back to Trapani in the Palasport "Palagranata" (capacity:3,800) where it stayed until 1997.
Since then Trapani has played in the 4,575 seater PalaIlio. In August 2015, its name became the Pala Conad for sponsorship reasons.

Trapani Shark Rebranding


In April 2023, businessman and sports personality Valerio Antonini made the purchase of the then-known Pallacanestro Trapani, along with FC Trapani 1905. Both teams have since been the recipient of major development and an associated rebranding to move both entities into a single multi-sports brand under the label Trapani Shark. An investment of €1,460,000 in the clubs facilities has seen the introduction of an NBA-style centre court monitor as an effort to modernise and globalise the club's image.
