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.[4]

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.[5][6]
