No suspects have been traced but the investigation continues, the force added.
Thames Chase spans more than 138 acres and includes paths for walking, cycling and riding.
There are also restored farm buildings, including 17th century Essex Barn, among a landscape of woods, meadows, and ponds.
The visitor centre, built almost entirely of wood, contains a cafe and shop.
