The Santa Cruz de Tenerife Municipal Sports Palace, currently the Quico Cabrera Municipal Sports Pavilion, is a sports complex located in the Tomé Cano area, next to the Heliodoro Rodríguez López football stadium.

The Pavilion was inaugurated in 1974 and over the years has been equipped with several annex facilities for the practice of different sports disciplines. The current complex covers a total area of more than 13,000 square metres, which includes: the large central covered pavilion with a capacity for 4,500 spectators, another smaller covered pavilion called Paco Álvarez, outdoor basketball courts, three tennis courts, several squash courts and the David González Rodríguez indoor swimming pool.

Since September 2017, the large central pavilion has been named "Quico Cabrera" in honour of the founder and president of the Club Voleibol Tenerife, the only Spanish club to hold the title of European Champions League.

The venue has hosted numerous major sporting events (basketball world championship, rhythmic gymnastics championships, volleyball, major futsal matches, etc.) and occasionally also large-scale music concerts, as well as various cultural events.

The Municipal Sports Pavilion is today a centre where many sports activities open to the citizens of Santa Cruz take place.
